- For each "affiliate", would it be possible to add a feature on for users to be able to post a comment on their experience? I realize that you're rating the affiliate, however, comments help out a lot to discuss what you liked/dis-liked about their service, etc.

Thanks,

I think this is an excellent idea. I'll think about how easy it is to add on without writing loads of new code - in effect we're looking for a way to tie a new VB discussion thread to a link.

I have an idea, I'm not sure if it was discussed in pages before this one but, if you use this script as a downloads page for your website, would it be possible to link to the file directly but make a entry page if coming from an outside website.

Such as if you come from google.com and you request http://forums.blah.com/local_links.php?action=jump&id=1 it would not request the file directly, but it would open up a page that you must first click the download now link before you can continue with the download. Therefore making it 100% (I think) leech proof. However right now I am using the method where users must be logged in before they can download a file.

I love your script and have been using it for a pretty long time now! Great work!

But lately i have noticed a small problem when linking to files at SourceForge, both in v1.10 and still in v1.25 (upgraded today).

Since you link to a zip-file at sourceforge the url ends with ".zip" but when you click on the link you get to a webpage with mirrors.

So when you try to download the file you get a text file (name.zip) that contains the HTML page.

Is it possible for the links & filedatabase to be able to check if its really a zip-file and if its not then the webpage will be shown instead with the mirrors at sourceforge.

(Btw, it can be any file-formats, not only zip)

Sourceforge provides links that have URLs looking like zip files, etc, but are treated as an instruction to redirect to the mirrors page where you actually choose the mirror you want. Perhaps other sites do the same. Versions of this hack up to 1.25 fail to spot this and give you a download which is actually the html code for the redirect.

To fix this, find the following code in local_links.php (line 1896 in version 1.25)

Code:

$dfname  = basename($urlInfo['path']);

$type         = substr(strrchr($dfname, "."), 1);



$mimetype = get_mimetype($type);



if (!is_array($mimetype)) {

Replace

Code:

if (!is_array($mimetype)) {

with

Code:

if (!is_array($mimetype) or $urlInfo['query'] != "") {

This should fix the problem. Please advise.

Good work on the continued support - this script is gaining in maturity every day :D

I was wondering that since you have the categories ordered by their alphabetical order, could you tell me the line of code to change to make it so it orders the categories by their ID?

Thanks.

Look for the following (about 150+ lines in to local_links.php depending on version)

PHP Code:


		
			
function get_linkscat() {

    global $DB_site, $linkscat, $linkscat_set;



    if (!$linkscat_set) {

        $asb = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM ".THIS_TABLE."linkscat ORDER BY catname");

Change catname to catid or catdate as you will.

Should this be a configuration option?
